Details:
It is well documented that all people aren’t born with the same opportunities to succeed, and many current systems marginalize people of color. The DE&I Giving Circle is committed to social justice and anti-racism. They believe that understanding systems and the role they play in issues related to race leads to better decision-making, more equitable outcomes, and greater philanthropic impact. It is critical for people of all races, cultures, and socioeconomic statuses to have legitimate access to opportunities.
- While diversity refers to all the ways in which people differ, this Giving Circle will focus on people of color and ways to change systems that perpetuate racism.
- Equity means receiving what one needs to succeed in terms of fair treatment, access, opportunity, and advancement regardless of cultural, racial, or socioeconomic status. While equality gives everyone the same rights/activities, equity gives individualized support so that all people can access and participate in those rights/activities.
- Inclusion is the act of creating environments in which any individual or group is safe, respected, supported, and valued as full participants.
Focus Areas
The Giving Circle will prioritize grantees that:
- Address root cause issues of inequity
- Support efforts to reduce the racial wealth gap (promoting minority entrepreneurs and access to high quality education opportunities)
- Cultivate and support minority leadership
- Bolster minority non-profit capacity building
- Improve health outcomes for minorities (for example, access to fresh food and mental health programs)
- Promote criminal justice reform (eliminating biases and promoting restorative justice efforts).
Types of Organizations/Projects
- Community-driven organizations working with the understanding that the people most affected by problems need to be involved in the solutions and in decision-making positions
- Overall organizational budgets in the low to mid six figures or projects within larger organizations which have smaller budgets
- They will consider innovative, pilot projects of larger organizations that aren’t well-funded but show promising early results.
